This chart should also shut up the bleating deflationists who shout "Japan! Japan!" whenever anyone suggests that the future is inflationary.

i am a strong believer that the gov should do something about the economy, but i m not sure if QE is the right solution.

in the past, QE have worked and have failed. the bailout team at washington hasnt been very convincing. if anything they sounded like they are utterly lost.

In the short term, it provides cash to allow economy "function".
The money mainly goes to deleveraging (pay debt hole).
The problem I see with actual QE is that most of the money is not reaching the real economy, only getting to Wall Street. By the time it reaches real economy, it will be diluted and devalued.
